Three-year ban for teenage drink driver after two offences before passing her test

Tiyana Gordjy was caught drink-driving twice in two months and crashed into a building on the latter occasion.

Gordjy, 19, of Larach Court, Kirkcaldy, appeared for sentencing at Dunfermline Sheriff Court.

She admitted that on February 9 at Larach Court she drove a car having consumed excess alcohol.

Her reading was 86 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, the limit being 22 microgrammes.

She then repeated the offence on April 11 in Maygate, Dunfermline, when her reading was 70 microgrammes of alcohol.

She was also driving without insurance and without a full licence, holding just a provisional licence.

Depute fiscal Lauren Pennycook said the Dunfermline incident occurred at 3am when police were called to Maygate, where a car had collided with a building causing damage to it.

Defence solicitor Alexander Flett said, “She’s very remorseful. In the Kirkcaldy case she was just moving the vehicle a short distance and in Dunfermline she was doing someone a favour.”

Sheriff Krista Johnston imposed a community payback order with 80 hours of unpaid work and a three-year driving ban.
